Frequently Asked Questions

MATLAB Home is for your personal use only. It is not available for government, academic, research, commercial, or other organizational use.

What is the difference between home software and the professional version of MATLAB?

MATLAB Home offers you the full capabilities of MATLAB. However, certain add-on products are not available for purchase with MATLAB Home. The following items include several other minor differences.

With the MATLAB home use license, the Command Window banner and title bar indicate home use.

With the Simulink home use license:

Models (including the blocks in referenced models) are limited to 1000 nonvirtual blocks.

Accelerator and Rapid Accelerator simulation modes are not available.

Model blocks can be simulated in Normal mode only.

Can I upgrade my home software?

Yes, you can upgrade your home software by subscribing to MathWorks Software Maintenance Service. Your purchase of a home software license includes a one year subscription of MathWorks Software Maintenance Service.

How do I renew my MathWorks Software Maintenance Service subscription?

Please sign in to your MathWorks Account and select the license you would like to renew.

How can I access an older version of MATLAB/Simulink if I have a Home license?

Accessing different versions of MATLAB, Simulink and other products is one of the benefits of having a valid MathWorks Software Maintenance Service. First-time purchase of a Home license includes a one-year subscription of MathWorks Software Maintenance Service. If you have wish to access an older version, then you can buy MathWorks Software Maintenance Service for your license.

When is the right time to buy a Home license to access the latest release?

A Home license can be bought at any time to access the latest release of MATLAB since MathWorks Software Maintenance Service is included for 1 year after the initial purchase. This allows access to 2 yearly releases within 12 months of initial purchase. However, to access upgrades after the 1st year, a valid MathWorks Software Maintenance Service is required.

If my Software Maintenance Service has expired, do I need to purchase maintenance for MATLAB and add-ons to continue using them?

Software Maintenance enables users to download the latest version of MATLAB and add-ons. In order to use previously purchased add-ons on the latest version of MATLAB, all products need to be current on Maintenance.

Is technical support available for MATLAB Home?

Technical support from MathWorks is only available for activation, installation, and bug-related issues. For additional help, please visit MATLAB Answers.

For how long can I use my MATLAB Home license?

You can use your MATLAB Home license indefinitely.

Where can I buy MATLAB Home?
